Abstract

This paper investigates Stability and maneuverability of Personal Mobility Vehicle (PMV). The purpose of PMV is to provide mobility in city centers. Suspension design concept of PMV is based on accommodating different road scenarios. Non conventional suspension mechanism is adopted to conform stability and handling. Analyses are performed on simple full scale vehicle model to validate the stability of the vehicle. Road scenarios are realized by modeling different terrain profiles. Multi-body analysis techniques are used to obtain the suspension parameters. The vehicle is analyzed on different roads to observe the effect of inertia on system dynamics. The results present the angular velocity, angular acceleration, roll, yaw and pitch variations about center of gravity of the vehicle. © 2012 IEEE.
